I’m Holly Kay!

Unemployed and Better than Ever

In April 2025, I was laid off from my job. Two weeks later, I lost my Mother-in-law to ovarian cancer. These changes had me reevaluating everything I had been spending my time on.

In an effort to conserve resources, I started cooking for my family. I liked it, and now I want to share it with you!

You can watch me cook and bake a variety of recipes on my YouTube channel, Holly Kay Makes.

About Me

My mission is simple! Cook delicious food and document it.

Follow along and cook with me. I’ll share my favorite recipes and tools.

Affiliate links and stores

Clicking affiliate links will help me pay my rent!

When I share links to my favorite tools and you make a purchase through that link, I get a small commission.

Spice Blends and Rubs

Coming soon I will have a store where you can order spice rubs I’ve created based on my favorite recipes. Sign up in the below form to be notified when the spice store opens.

Airbnb experiences

If you’re located in the New York area, I will soon be available to come to your house/airbnb and cook for you! Sign up in the below form to be notified when I begin cooking IRL.

“Holly Kay is the best at making fun, delicious, and elegant meals that bring our family together.”
